• Overseeing reliability testing, RF calibration, and test equipment usage to validate hardware/software under environmental stresses.
• Designing and manufacturing ruggedized RF/digital electronics for military fielded systems, ensuring low-latency, high-throughput performance.
• Developing real-time applications with CUDA/GPUs or C/C++ for radar signal processing, including RF static range measurements, RCS predictions, and signal propagation analysis.
• Leading program integration across engineering, operations, acquisition, and testing teams to meet milestones and requirements.
• Collaborating on radar systems, data links, and command/control architectures; conducting simulations, modeling, and testing with specialized tools.
• Mentoring engineers, providing technical leadership, and developing documentation for proposals, audits, and Agile processes.
• Utilizing tools like Git, Jira, CAD software, and contributing to RFP responses, prototypes, and interdisciplinary RF/embedded projects.

Requirements

• Candidate must have bachelor's degree in electrical/aerospace engineering.
• A Master's or PhD in Electrical/Aerospace Engineering is preferred, bachelor's with exceptional experience considered
• Candidate must be US Citizen
• Candidate must have active DoD Secret Clearance, or eligibility to obtain/maintain DoD Secret Clearance
• Candidate must have 10+ years' experience with the following:
  • Integrated circuits (design, fabrication, integration; e.g., RFICs, ASICs) for radar applications.
  • Reliability testing, RF calibration/test equipment, digital signal processing, and radar system design.
  • Development of real-time, low-latency, high-throughput applications using CUDA/GPUs or C/C++.
